The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), selected their entry through a national final.

This year marked the last contest in which participation and televoting were only open to residents of West Germany.

Ten acts presented their entries live and the winner was selected by public televoting through hotline.

Nino de Angelo performed twenty-first on the night of the contest, following Iceland and preceding Yugoslavia.

At the close of the voting the song had received 46 points, placing 14th in a field of 22 competing countries.
